Default We have a problem

I've been informed today that the cricketers have booked all the Sundays ten till teatime, from the 22 Jan to Easter at the Coney Green Campus we used last year.

What are we going to do ?

Given that we are looking into sorting some 'weather proofing' for the rostrum and pits anyway, and that the track itself drains nicely I don't see why we can't run outside in the winter.
I remember as a kid Springfield used to run outside all winter and we were rarely even rained off.
The one thing we could really do with is power to the cabin though - a steady supply of cups of tea and a microwave to warm up some sausage butties is all you need when its 2 above freezing!
3 lap penalty for anyone using poncy transmitter muff too.

That said - I'm a bit miffed cos I'm sure Rog and I booked dates with them for this winter. OK we only penciled it in, but they should have let us know!
